Hey all, I was fitting my indiglow dials last night and after i'd done 'em went to drill the holes in the top of the casing to pass the wires through (as per instructions). One side fine then slipped when doing the speedo side and the drill bit went right through damaging one of the components :headvswal :xxx:. It broke of to of the progs that go into the PCB and the n the thrid one fiinally gave way as i tried to rectify my stupidity. It's a small 3 pronged blue square box with what looks like a white adjuster in the middle. There's 2 of them on the PCB and it's the one on the left that's come off! :headvswal Any ideas what it's for what it will affect an…

It also has drivers side access and soft fabric lining.:) Worth a look. Try this link and contact Andrew Whitehead. (very helpfull) http://www.care4car.com/:duffer:

As some of you know I bought my 300zx back this week and I was very excited by the fact. Since it came back on Tuesday I seem to have lost the passion for it? I feel quite sad by this at the mo. I think it might return once I have had time to do a bit of this and that (you know me) It still goes like shite off a shovel and TBH nothing has changed at all except he put about 1500 miles on the clock. Has anyone else been here before? I mean, is this normal? :)

I came across this Zed on ebay a few days ago and decided to 'watch' it to see what price it reached. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=250230141299&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=015 To my surprise no-one has yet placed a bid and I would have thought a starting price of £1,995 with no reserve was a very reasonable price. Am I missing something? Dave

Hi ppl i need to know if anyone is selling a 300zx uk spec tt at the moment? im well interested in this car but a jap import adds £3k onto my insurance!

Has any one had a Jap Zed Mot'ed in the last few months and been told they HAVE to have a rear fog light; cos I have just had this. The car was mot'ed at the same garage last year and not a sodding mention of it then. Have the rules changed this year or was the mech just being a tw*t?:rant::rant::rant: I now have a light fitted and should i take it off???? Thanks Marcus

Thinking about some vents for IC exit ducts, but want to know if anyone has successfully blended fibreglass into the poly bumper, without it cracking? They are going to get some proper flex in them as I live in London, and those speed bumps make good ramps :)
